Decentralization and erasure: Blacksky, Bluesky, and the ATmosphere

@damon and also note how many "ifs" you had put in there:

- *if* it was Elon and other instances blocked…
- *if* people were not able to download .csv…

These two "ifs" do not even exist in Bluesky. No CSVs to download, no independent Bluesky-social-network instances to migrate to, no migration facility…

And even then "these people" are not "screwed". They can set up accounts on other instances and reconnect with people already there.

@rysiek

Your point is mute then because you said if Elon comes to buy it. I’ve seen you move the needle so many times it’s ridiculous and I can’t take your opinion seriously. I don’t believe you engage in good faith. You have your opinion which as others have pointed out in terms of decentralisation is very flawed, you don’t budge. You point out my using ifs yet I’ve tracked all of the conversations you’ve had concerning this and yours are also laced with ifs and possibilities

@rysiek There is a massive difference but the difference isn’t negligible as you keep trying to insist. 30% of the MAU are on Mastodon nonprofits servers. Probably higher if you discount the servers widely blocked. There’s users whom the vast majority of their followers are on .social
